Weird problem: dropping packets Hi all. I have a Netra440 with 10 interfaces, the 2 onboard + 2 cards
with 4 interfaces each. I have ce2 & ce6 setup for multipathing
failover. I'm dropping packets on ce2, but when I failover I don't on
ce6. I'm really stumped about the network dropping packets. It seems
to be localized to a logical interface on the OCS.
The interfaces are connected to a switch, which is connected to a
router.
I have tried to change everything in between but it's still dropping:
The tests I ran included:
1) Changed the physical interface to ce2 - moved the cable to another
unused interface on the server. Eliminates possbility it's the network
card interface
2) Changed cables - eliminates bad cable possbility
3) Changed ports on switch - elimates chance it's a bad port on the
router.
4) Failed over to redundant interface. ce2 and ce6 are configured as
redunant interfaces. If I pull the cable on ce2 then ce6 comes up with
the same IP. When I do this I can run a ping test I get no dropped
packets to ce6. This is the part that doesn't make any sense to me. I
don't see how it's possible for dropped packets to be linked to a
logical interface like that.
At the beginning of the tests I was manually setting ce2 to 100/full
with no autonegotiate. I did the same on the switch, but not on ce6. I
could remove the manual configuration on ce2, but I don't know what
that would gain.
Please help!
Thanks,
Ben.. |
